    What the gurus are saying

    This cream cleanser earns consistent praise for how gently it removes makeup and oil without stripping the skin barrier, making it especially suited to anyone with dry or sensitive skin. Dermatologists highlight the oat kernel flour for its soothing antioxidants, the niacinamide and ceramides for barrier support, and the non-foaming formula that won't over-dry the face. At nine dollars, it's an affordable pick even those managing dryness from prescription treatments may want to reach for.

    "The Elf Pure Skin Cleanser is good - I particularly like it because it's a gentle cleanser. I suggest getting the little Pure Skin kit to see if you actually like it before committing to the big size."

    IS E.L.F PURE SKIN THE NEW HOLY GRAIL? // DERMATOLOGIST @DrDrayzday
    "I actually really have been enjoying this. It is a creamy cleanser, it's super gentle, and it's a wonderful choice if you have really dry sensitive skin or if you're dealing with a lot of dryness and peeling from a topical medication. It's very mild and gentle to use around the eyes. It has oat kernel flour with humectants and natural detergent action good for gentle cleansing, oats with antioxidants called avinanthromides, niacinamide, and ceramides. This cleanser is nine dollars and E.L.F is really affordable. This is one I would definitely consider buying again and would recommend."

    "My top affordable gentle cleanser pick is e.l.f Pure Skin Cleanser at $9, which is an amazing price for a really great product. It has niacinamide, which is a crucial ingredient in my gentle skincare routine to help strengthen and restore your skin barrier. This one also contains ceramides for skin barrier support, allantoin which helps soothe the skin especially if you have irritation or a damaged skin barrier, and hyaluronic acid for added hydration. The formula overall is so gentle with no fragrances or other known irritants. It's a cream, non-foaming cleanser."

    "The ELF Pure Skin Cleanser has oat milk and aloe juice in it, which are very nourishing and soothing to the skin, and it also has niacinamide, which is so important for sensitive skin people to strengthen that skin barrier and help prevent inflammation and water loss. This does not foam up, which is really important for dry and sensitive skin people. This is a really good cream based cleanser. It is not going to strip the skin of oils and anything like that, so it's going to be very protective of your skin barrier but still effective at removing the makeup and dirt and oil from the day."
